To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
Relief Society leaders are probably still in the process of planning what to do next year. Let me throw out some ideas and see what you think… By now, the stake and ward has probably set up their goals for next year. A Relief Society president should find out what these goals are and frame […]
I ran across an article in the Woman’s Exponent entitled The Spirit of Relief Society Work. It serves as another reminder of days that must be remembered. “We may sum up in substance the spirit of Relief Society work as developing in the woman who undertakes it, charity, long-suffering, gentleness, patience, humility—these and many more […]
Back in 1985, Pres. Hinckley gave a talk on “Ten Gifts from the Lord”. As I read through these gifts I was reminded of the spiritual purposes of Relief Society, and my blessings of its membership. YOU HAVE THE GIFT, THE OPPORTUNITY, AND THE RESPONSIBILITY OF DOING GOOD. Our charge, according to Jesus Christ himself, […]
A friend of mine wrote and sent this letter out to all RS Presidents and Bishops in her stake. I thought she did a beautiful job of explaining the simple change that has once again come over Relief Society. Dear Relief Society Leaders, What a wonderful blessing it is to be called to work with […]
It appears that gone are the days of month-to-month entertaining. We have to adjust our thinking and think anew. As I have studied how our early sisters organized themselves, I see, readily, Sis.

“Our homemaking activity, in the Schwamendingen Ward last month was making dishes, candle holders, hot plates, wall hangings, or whatever out of clay. The sisters were asked to bring actual leaves to imprint in the clay by using a rolling pin. Then they used a knife to cut the leaves out and to deepen the veins […]
Our General Relief Society President has given us an amazing vote of confidence. Instead of dictating exactly, or even partially, what we are to do as a Relief Society, she is allowing our own inspiration to soar, our personal revelation to exemplify our womanhood, and our sisterhood to gain the momentum that has been prophesied […]
If you missed the General Relief Society Meeting, you will want to see it, or read it, in its entirety at www.lds.org. I have to be honest here; I love how they are talking about the history and legacy of the Relief Society. They are making sure we understand that the Relief Society works hand […]
“We use our blog as a way of communicating with all sisters in our ward boundaries. Sisters who are inactive, less active, new converts, and non-members. At the beginning of the year we gave out refrigerator magnets (of course!) with important dates on it and the blog address. We had extra magnets that we gave […]
In our busy lives, it’s hard to find time for everything, but the bottom line is women need women—and getting together is a necessity—and we always manage to find time for what we really want to do, don’t we? Are important things being replaced in our lives, because we are searching for fulfillment? Emmeline […]
